James Gunn is opening up about his inspirations for his upcoming interpretation of Superman's arch-enemy Brainiac in upcoming sequel Man of Tomorrow. The filmmaker says he's drawing straight from Brainiac's comic history, but not necessarily adapting a single story.
"Fun story but not really, no," Gunn says on social media when asked if '90s Superman crossover story Panic in the Sky, in which Brainiac is the main villain, would be adapted in Man of Tomorrow. "More specifically: I read almost every Brainiac story to put Brainiac in MoT together and used bits and pieces I thought worked best. But PitS wasn't a key influence on the story."
